Actually you bring up a good point. I have a static form class for
validating and displaying form elements. It would make sense to place
the definitions in there.
I do however like the idea of having a simple flat file to edit as the

I used to have them in a DB but it seemed a little much.
Well either way I go, you all have given me some good food for thought.
Thanks for your time.
